The photo sessions //Kratos x Finnahollic//

John looked over at her as she started to wipe herself down and then the desk before she then got dressed. Hearing that she would make sure Vincent would not know what actually happened here made him smile a little, he knew after all that Jessica would keep true to that word. "See you then Jessica.. keep up the good work" his eyes looking around at the state of his office. It would not take him long to fully clean back up. The files would be annoying to resort but he would just call in his secretary to fix that up. All he was going to do was put them back onto his desk and setup his laptop again, which took only a few minutes before he checked the general email seeing that Seth had reported in his usual style of report to him. The images from the original shoot attached and his own personal note that Carrie was ready to be hurried along into the next stage. Sending an email back verifying such a thing he then closed his laptop deciding he would need to get his secretary to fix up the files now other wise he would probably forget about it.

Seth let out a sigh as he did his usual work with the normal photos, they had been sent into the head boss so they could be stored in the main archive. After all the company always needed normal shots as well to still appear like a general modeling agency. He then printed out the batch from the private shoot enveloping them like normal and then sending them to be delivered to Jessica's place. With the photos he also sent a few things extra in the envelope that he knew Jessica would appreciate, one being Vincents schedule and his own personal mobile number.

Jessica didn't go straight home, stopping at the cafe next to the agency to get some dinner to go. Thanking the waitress, she left once she had her dinner, and got into her car to head home. She'd either get her photos that night, or first thing in the morning. Right now though, she just wanted to enjoy a quiet evening at home before she would put her plan to seduce Vincent into effect.

When Carrie got home, she got on her computer to check the agency's website, wanting to see how her photos had turned out. She knew they had to be good, since both Vincent and Seth both thought she had potential. The next few days passed by with no word from the agency, and she was getting worried that her contract had been cancelled without her being told.

Seth had now finished everything he had to do today, and so shut down the computer after looking at a few of the enhanced images of Jessica's shoot with him before leaning back, he would not have another shoot for a little unless told otherwise by John. So for now he was going to take it easy and probably head home soon. It really was a shame that she was into Vincent more so then him which was something he was jealous about it a bit but still Carrie would be interesting and was enough to then take his mind off that, after all her private shoots would be interesting once they got to that point since she had such an innocence about her.

Not a whole lot happened at the agency for a little after that shoot other then normal shoots with the general models that were asked to test out a new fashion brand. Once that was over he finally got around to getting the photos from the shoot onto the website getting the technical team to set it all up so it was linked into model names, and then clicking that name would go to a mini portfolio and show photos that he allowed up onto the website. He then started calling a few of the models since it had been a few days since their shoot and he knew they would be getting a little worried. Now it was time to call up Carrie and tell her the good news, although of course he would not tell her the reason behind why it was such great news. Letting the phone ring for a little he now waited for her to answer.

Carrie kept jumping up every time the phone rang, hoping that it would be the agency. Disappointed that they had yet to call, when the phone rang again, she sighed, but reached for the phone, pretty sure that it was just another telemarketer calling the house. She was tempted to just hang up, but she was still waiting to hear from John again about her next shoot. Putting the phone to her ear, she sighed again before speaking, her voice sounding a little dull, as if she was expecting someone else. "Hello?"

The answer that he had received once the phone was answered was not quite what he had been expecting yet he started to talk regardless. "It is John, you sound like you were expecting someone else?" he lightly chuckled before then continuing "I wanted to finally tell you that your shoot went great, and that because of how well you actually did you will have two shoots coming up shortly one after the other... that is if you think you can manage such a thing. The first shoot is similar to what you are used to but the second is a bikini fashion line that needs to be tested and after seeing your photos online they personally asked if you could at least be one of the models for the line.. " he was mildly stretching the truth here, since Seth had put in a good word for her to the company but nether the less they had still stated they would like her in some of what they had to offer from their franchise. That and the shots would give them a more clear indication of what they had to look forward to soon,

The second she heard John's voice, her own voice went from dull to excited. She listened as he told her about the next couple shoots that she had coming up. "Of course I can manage two shoots! Just tell me where and when, and I'll be there!" While talking, she grabbed a pen and some paper so she could write down the dates and times of her shoots. She was a little doubtful about the bikini shoot, but since it meant that her career as a model was taking off so quickly, she would try her best to model the bikinis.

He liked hearing how her voice changed once realizing who was actually on the phone since it showed she still was excited about having such a job and getting more experience. Hearing her answer a small smile crossed him before he then responded "They said either tomorrow or the next day is fine, but I think the shoot will take a day or so to get ready so in two days time, first shoot at 11, the next following it. They are not fussy about what time it starts as long as your at that shoot before three, I think for both shoots you have Seth again unless you want to request someone else, although he is a great photographer.. and is the only one not busy on that day.."

"No no.. Seth will be okay. I'll be there then. Thanks for letting me know, John" She hung up, a big smile on her face as she wrote down the date and times of her two new shoots.

On the day of the shoots, she had gotten there a little early, and was at the cafe next door getting something to eat before her first shoot started. Glancing at the clock above the counter, she noticed it was getting close to 11. Finishing her meal quickly, she smiled at the waitress before getting up and heading back to the modeling agency. Waving a greeting to Seth, she went to the makeup room to prepare for the first of her two photo shoots.

Hearing her hang up he then put down the phone before sending an email to Seth telling him the shoot details so that he could prepare it all and be ready. Once that was written up he decided to get up and grab something from the cafe.

Seth the next day checked his email like normal before seeing one from John stating two shoots that had the main focus of Carrie, it was good to see that he had decided to also hurry along the situation and that his suggestion to the bikini fashion line had not gone wasted but instead would give them an idea of what Carrie actually had to offer before they got to move on to the next shoots shortly after these two. He was certain these were the last shoots before anything could happen. That or their was one more, he setup the stage's as appropriate leaving the bikini fashion one up to the company to setup for themselves before that day came shortly to an end and it was the day of actual shoots. Seeing Carrie had arrived a little early he waved back watching her go and prepare for the first shoot. Soon they would begin although he looked forward to the second shoot more so then this normal shoot.

Carrie came out of the dressing room a few minutes later, dressed for the first of her two shoots. She'd spent the past couple days practicing some new poses for this shoot, wanting each photo shoot to be different from the previous one. Going to stand in front of the camera, she gave Seth a smile, posing for him as he took photos of her.

While Carrie was busy with her first shoot, Jessica went into the dressing room, setting a couple very skimpy bikinis out for Carrie to wear for the next shoot. The swimsuits barely covered anything, but it was what the designer wanted modeled, and it would be a good indication of how Carrie would be during her next few shoots. Leaving the room, she went back to the diner, sending a text to Vincent, asking if he wanted to have dinner at her place later that night. She hoped he would say yes, as she already had a videocamera set up in a corner of her room, ready to go for when she'd need it.

After she was finished with her first shoot, she went to the dressing room to change into her next outfit, blinking as she saw the bikinis she was supposed to be modeling. There was no way she was leaving the dressing room in just those.

Seth waited for this shoot to begin tapping his foot on the ground since their was not really anything else for him to do as he waited. Seeing her now come out now he smiled back preparing his camera as she started to pose, it seemed she had some new poses today which made things more interesting. Some were a little average but at least it was nice to see her doing new things unlike some models that would not try to learn new ones until they were told to and then refuse to use those new ones. So far the shoot was going well and he looked forward to the next shoot since he had seen what some of the bikini's looked like for the next shoot, and well they left little up to the imagination and could probably almost be considered lingerie.

Vincent was busy at the time of getting a text that he did not check his phone to begin with since he was talking to a different model about what this company had to offer before then walking away after that model had finished asking questions. Pulling out his phone he was a little surprised to see a text from Jessica since from what he knew not many actually had his mobile number. He hesitated responding for a moment before sending a text back that he would like to do such a thing and at what time would he like for him to meet her so that they could go to hers since he was actually unsure where her house was. Unlike Seth he hardly knew were any of the models were but then again that was probably John's doing since he did not really know a whole lot but was left as a recruiter instead and general photo's.

As the first shoot came to an end a slight eagerness had now come across Seth as he awaited for Carrie to return in what would be one of her next outfits.

Carrie remained in the dressing room, still wearing what she'd put on for the first shoot. She'd agreed to model bikinis, not dental floss masquerading as swimsuits. She wasn't comfortable showing off her body, even if she did have a great figure. and the bikinis that had been left in the dressing room for her showed way more than she was willing to let anyone see.

Jessica was sipping a glass of coke when her phone started beeping, indicating an incoming message. Pulling it out of her pocket, she opened the message, smirking when she saw that it was from Vincent. Dialing his cellphone, since it was clear he wasn't busy for the moment, she waited for him to answer, tapping her fingers on the table she was sitting at. Her plan was working perfectly. Before the night was over, she'd have Vincent naked in her bed.

Seth waited for Carrie to return as he slowly started to wonder what was taking so long, then again she was probably hesitant in wearing what had been put on offer. Still in truth she had been warned that it was a bikini shoot for the second one, and well if she had seen what some models had been asked to wear for fashion's sake well she really should have no problem with it. That and he just wanted to see how they were on the model.

He now waited for a response although had not expected for a response to come in the form of a call, his ringtone going off for a moment before he answered "Hello, Vincent here.." he really was unsure of what was actually going down currently but still he was fine with eating over at a models place, although he had heard rumors of what that could lead to considering what some models were like. In truth though he would not mind such a thing.

Knowing that someone would probably come looking for her if she took too long, Carrie sighed as she reached for the swimwear. It didn't take long for her to change into the bikini, but she put on some clothes over it, not wanting to walk out of the dressing room very nearly naked. She headed back out to the studio, giving Seth a weak smile. Taking a quick glance to make sure no one else but her and Seth were in the studio, she took off the shirt and shorts she'd put on over the swimsuit, then moved to stand in front of the photographer and his camera. She was too embarrassed with what she had on, so she just stood there, though she would try and follow any instruction that Seth gave her.

Jessica smiled when Vincent answered his phone, though he couldn't see it. "Hello, Vinnie baby! I just wanted to be sure you were serious when you said you'd have dinner with me. I don't like giving out my home address, so I thought we could meet somewhere first, then head to my place from there. Only if that's okay with you, of course." Everything was working perfectly, and all she had to do was get Vincent to her place.

Seth was starting to consider going to check on Carrie yet decided to give her five more minutes. After that he would head to the changing room knowing where it was since there had been a few times he had some enjoyment time with models in there. Sure enough though before the time he allocated had been over he finally saw her return and oddly enough with a little clothes, which he figured were over the top since she genuinely looked shy which was no surprise. After all even with warning the best of models if had not modeled something similar would be nervous or embarrassed since they were designed for the eyes of others mainly. His eyes looked towards her as she removed the extra clothes she had brought to cover up with on the way before even he was a little surprised with what they had actually given her to wear. "For a little there, i was wondering if you were going to come back so that we could get this shoot underway" He took a few shots taking in the natural embarrassment she had showing currently, which was cute and somewhat sexy in its own way before he asked her to do a few poses. Which considering what she was wearing would almost show everything she had to offer. Which was exactly what he wanted to capture but was yet to see if she would try such daring poses or be to embarrassed and only manage basics.

Hearing her voice, he was glad that it was not some sort of prank that was being played which he had heard occasionally happened in similar situations. He paused before responding "Of course I was serious about such a thing, and meeting somewhere would be a great idea.. do you have anywhere in mind?" he was originally walking when he had answered the phone but now lent against a wall wanting to not get distracted from this conversation. After all it was rare to get such an opportunity with such a model to have a dinner and go over there house. Although he really had no clue what was in store for him since Jessica had a plan, and Vince was going to find out soon enough what such a thing was by being in that plan. Only until then would he realize but being male and since it was Jessica, he would have no problem with what would happen.

Carrie nodded when Seth asked her to do a few poses. She did just a few basic poses, too embarrassed to do anything more than that. When he stopped taking photos, she moved to put the shirt and shorts back on, glad that it was over. She headed back to the dressing room to change back into her own clothes.

Jessica smiled when Vincent answered, though he couldn't see it. "There is an outdoor cafe just a few blocks from where I live. We could meet up there, then head to my place. Do you have a piece of paper to write the address on?" She waited a few seconds for him to find something to write with, then gave him the address of the cafe they would be meeting at. "I'll meet you there at 5 tonight then, Vinnie." She made a smooching sound before hanging up the phone. Before putting it away, she sent a text to Seth, letting him know everything was set and that she'd make him copies of the photos she'd be getting of herself and Vincent.

Although Seth had been hoping that she would try a daring pose at least once he still took photos as she did some of the basics. Her natural nervousness captured in every shot of which in a few he changed his angle just a little, that way the shot originally had not been perverse at all but with an angle adjustment had captured enough to at least keep himself a little happy until John started up proper private shoots and events as such. After a few more shots he then lowered the camera before saying that they were done. When she was putting back on the extra clothes she had brought though he shot a few sneak shots in, some capturing more then expected before he then placed his camera on the desk. Of which he then checked his phone noticing that Jessica seemed to have everything setup almost ready for her and Vincent. Smiling he sent a small text back "Okay then, enjoy" before sending a message to the head boss stating the shoots went alright and that he would send the photos per usual when he got them off his camera after a short snack break

Hearing what she said he quickly looked for something to write on, finding something that would do as well as some form of marker to write what she would say. "Okay got something" he then proceeded to write it down and then wrote the time circling it before pocketing what he had wrote it on. Now he partially looked forward to that time of day considering there was still a few hours until he would head down to the cafe since he would go early, but still even in a few hours it would be to early and so he would have to find a way to waste time until then

John noticed his phone had a message, which he rarely usually paid attention to but seeing as he did this time he saw that the shoots went well, of which if that was the case it was now time to tell Carrie about her full contract that she was now locked into. Sure it meant she was a model as per normal and could continue to be, but it allowed much more to be done with her of which she did not really have the right to state otherwise and since it was all signed and what not taking it to a legal firm would not help her get out of it. After all he had paid a lot of money to have it written without flaws and yet able for them to do what they would like to. Seeing as she would probably be near her phone he decided to start ringing it of which he would try a few times until he would get through before asking her to come to his office as soon as she could to discuss today's shoots.

Carrie had returned to the dressing room, and was in the process of changing back into her clothes, when her phone starting ringing. Digging into her purse, she pulled it out to check the caller ID. Surprised to see John's phone number, she quickly pulled her skirt up before answering it. After a brief conversation, she hung her phone up again, and headed to John's office. Knocking once, she opened the door and stuck her head in. "Hello, John. I was just about to head home. Did you need something?" It was true that she'd been about to leave, and hoped that whatever he wanted wasn't important.

Jessica put her phone away, then left to get some stuff she would need to make dinner that night. After doing a bit of digging, she had found out the photographer's favorite food, and had planned on making it for him. Heading home after getting the ingredients she needed, she put everything away, and spent the rest of the afternoon watching tv until an hour before she was due to go meet Vincent, at which time she would start with all the prep work.

Seth went to his area now that had his laptop before beginning to sync in some of the photo's of that session. Unlike his private session with Jess, these would all go to John, with a few that he liked being backed up and added to a separate area. Once that procedure was started he relaxed into his chair knowing this would take a while, after all it usually always did

John knew that Carrie would head probably straight from where she was to his office and so sat waiting before shortly afterwards hearing a knock and then seeing her enter a little "I actually do have something to discuss with you, since now that you have three shoots you are actually now considered a model, did you know that..?" he stood up before pulling out the spare chair a bit "please.. take a seat, there is more I have to say" he then waited for her to take the seat before finding a copy of her contract since he kept the originals nice and safe and placing it on his desk. "The thing is.. now that your official, there is something you should actually check in that contract you skipped through.. all the other official models know about it, page 17 starting from line 3.. of which you should come to a quick realization that maybe you should have read the whole thing.. since now those rules apply and to get out of the contract, their is a minimum amount of shoots or an amount that has to be paid. Of which you are also not allowed to tell any other model apart from established ones about the rest of the contract or the amount stated is doubled for the shoots and the amount of money needed to escape if you want to.. so I would advise keeping what happens here to yourself.. is that fine with you Carrie..?" a small little chuckle escaped him since he always liked seeing the models reactions as they found out all this at once.

Vincent as he was wandering got asked to help out with a small shoot, of which he decided to since it would pass the time. Once that was over he was thanked and then he left and checked the time again before deciding he would head to the location she had said about an hour early, of which he would then wait there hoping that this was not a prank arranged by someone. After all Vince knew that some of the models could act, although he had heard rumors that Jessica was genuinely interested in him for some reason that was unknown since the rumors did not go that far into detail. Now he was at the location suggested waiting, occasionally checking the time as it got closer to the expected time of her being there.

Carrie entered the room while John talking, nodding as she moved to take a seat. "Yes, I am glad that you signed me on as a model here." Glancing at the copy of her contract that had been placed on his desk, she looked back up at him, confused as he went on to talk about a stipulation of the contract. Flipping through the copy he set out, she read the page in question, her eyes widening with the realization of what would be required of her. Setting the contract back on the desk, she looked back up at him. "And what would happen if I didn't keep quiet about what you do here?" Looking back through the contract, she tried to find some way out of her contract, not wanting to be the kind of model that John had working for him.

Jessica put the dinner in the oven, but left it turned off for now. She'd turn the oven on when she returned with Vincent. Quickly washing her hands, she went to put on her shoes, grabbing her keys and purse as she headed out the door. A brief glance at her watch told her that she still had 10 minutes to arrive at the cafe to meet up with Vincent. When she got to the cafe, she walked over to Vincent, giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "I hope you are hungry. I have dinner waiting to be cooked at home."

John could not help but lightly laugh, as she did the usual attempt to find a loop hole or escape from the contract already. This was a normal reaction of which he had been expecting "The first things that occur if you simply just try to drop the contract, is your credit rating disappears, your accounts drained into a massive bankruptcy, a black mark against your name so that you can not get employed anywhere.. and your pretty much blocked off from the whole world, phones cut off, and although you would not notice it. What you do monitored.. It is much easier to instead just stay with the contract instead.. that way you still get to be a normal model as well.. it is just that their is added bonus's for me and certain photographers.. what we like to call private sessions.. I am sure after a few you might even enjoy them... after all they are much more personal then plain shoots."

Vincent although had set out rather early, to actually find the place took a little more effort and so he had wasted some of his waiting time at least on getting there. Now though he was waiting and had got himself a glass of soft drink, which he drank about ten minutes before Jessica actually got there greeting him. Which at least proved to him this was not a prank "I am reasonably.. so how about you lead the way then?" he stood up before lightly smiling at her. Although this situation confused him a little already he was not complaining. After all he would not mind getting to know her a little more and it had been a while since he had something home cooked especially for him

As the realization that she was stuck in her contract sunk in, she let go of the papers. She just stared at the desk, a little shocked, and angry at herself for not reading the contract completely. After a few minutes, she looked up at John. "How many other girls have you tricked in this manner? How many dreams crushed?!" Moving the contract onto the desk, she stood up, still looking at John. "I'll continue to abide by the contract, but if you or anyone else in this place try to touch me, I will sue you all for sexual harrassment."

Jessica nodded, heading back toward her apartment, glancing back once to make sure that Vincent was following her. Once back at her building, she went up to her apartment, unlocking the door to let Vincent in. Tossing her keys on the table by the door, she kicked off her shoes before going into the kitchen. "Just make yourself at home while I start dinner cooking. It'll be ready in about 45 minutes." After setting a timer, she went into the living room. "Do you want something to drink while we wait on dinner?"

Silence was something he had been expecting to happen once the full realization occurred, that was something that usually tended to differ from person to person before hearing her question. This part he simply ignored since he had not crushed anyone's dreams. They were still what they wanted to be, and quite a few had done enough to leave the agency but now stayed even with the extra shoots, and other things occurring. Yet their was no point trying to explain that. Hearing her claim about such a thing John just laughed at her "You must not realize how well this contract was written, it is impossible to sue us for anything.. once you have done your first lot of shoots. You signed it meaning anything can be done with you, and the more you try to protest against it, the more things will happen and the longer you will be stuck within the contract.. don't you understand Carrie.. you were picked by Vincent.. because he saw you had potential as an actual model, but see he does not know what happens later down the track.. Seth on the other hand does, and that is why they pick much different to each other.. still I like Vince's choice.. even if you do plan to be stubborn to begin with.." he paused before then speaking. "Page 18 states that upon becoming a fully fledged model, you must show everything you have to offer to me.. as your first task.. now see if you keep protesting the way you are, I will make you do that now.. but I was going to let you have the rest of the day off.. before your first private shoot begins tomorrow.."

Vince simply followed Jessica all the way back to hers before entering hers and then still following her just for a little before hearing what she said, he smiled before sitting down in the living room and then answered "I would quite like something.. so surprise me" his blue eyes looking around the place that was quite nice, as expected of one of the top models of the agency. Well at least that was his personal opinion anyhow even though he had barely any shoots with her for quite some time now. Then again he really only did get to do beginner shoots, and occasionally a veteran shoot. But nothing to fancy which was disappointing since it meant John had not seen his potential.
